Re: "What's in an Order Marker?" - C3G Style

Well met!

Building an army in C3G is sort of like creating a party in D&D. Each unit should have a role, and you should have an overall plan of battle. Some additional categories:

Leaders: Commanders (subordinates have free will) and Controllers (subordinates have no choice).

Warriors: Primarily melee units.

Thugs: Warriors with high offense and high defense.

Shooters: Primarily ranged attackers.

Snipers: Primarily long range Shooters.

Magicians: Units whose primary value is messing with opponents' efficiency.

Martial Artists: Any unit with any traditional martial art in its past.

Supernaturals: Powers acquired supernaturally, like being Undead or an Angel. May be Magicians, and vice versa.

Units with Explosion or Area Attacks, Multi-Attacks, and Auto Wounds should be listed somehow.

Multi-Classing is a D&D staple. Hybrids are the rule, rather than the exception. Also a training tree, where certain powers would be listed with sub-powers. A basic attack might have limbs for multi-attacking, auto-Skulls, etc., for example.
